...Other observers think of small, dusky "Father" Divine, born George Baker somewhere in the South, as an amiable cultist who does genuinely useful welfare work with large sums of money whose source remains as obscure as the biography of Father Divine himself. In the interest of religious history, smallish, baldish Dr. Robert Ernest Hume, professor of the History of Religions at Union Theological Seminary, set out one Sunday last month to get the Divine record straight. The resulting interview was printed fortnight ago in The Spoken Word, Divine newsorgan. Of more interest to psychologists than theological historians, the Divine revelations...
Capitalist. The one remarkable man on the new Board is the governor appointed to the four-year term and designated by the President as chairman. At 45 Marriner Stoddard Eccles is lean, smallish, nervous, intense. In manner he is pleasant, impersonal. Like many another New Dealer he is convinced that in money management lies the salvation of Capitalism...
...citrus year ending last October, U. S. citizens consumed 163,029 carloads of oranges, lemons and grapefruit-39% more than the five-year average through 1929 and an all-time record. Two-thirds of the U. S. citrus crop is harvested in the California-Arizona area.

S. citrus industry. Last week the 13,500 fruit-growing members were...
...shapely, so vividly blonde that she seemed more like a transient from Hollywood than a potential singer of real grand opera. In the Pasha's Garden was such a flaccid, sterile piece, offered such feeble opportunities, that critics would only say that Helen Jepson was unusually pretty, her smallish voice agreeable (TIME. Feb. 4). Last week in Chicago Helen Jepson was put to a stiffer test as the heroine of Thais, the role long associated there with incomparable Mary Garden...
Jocularly Canadians were remarking that John Buchan's new title, Baron Tweedsmuir, "sounds like some new kind of suiting," but most of them were in a mood to greet indulgently the smallish, sharp-nosed, pucker-lipped Scot. Due to land at Quebec on Oct. 24 from the Empress of Britain, Lord & Lady Tweedsmuir were the prey of seafaring autograph hunters this week. Bandied merrily were the Scottish jokes which the brilliant historian, novelist and Governor-General is so adept at working in at a captain's dinner...
